Zorgvliet Wines

What Zorgvliet Wines does

Zorgvliet Wine Estate is a privately held, family-operated wine estate in the Banghoek Valley of Stellenbosch, South Africa. The estate's manor house dates to 1692, with the farm acquired by the current owners in 2002 and subsequently restored; it now serves as the on-site tasting room. Zorgvliet produces a portfolio of 12+ wines across reds (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Keurtjieskloof Red), whites (Semillon, Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc), rosés (Cabernet Franc Rosé), and sparkling wines (Cap Classique, Sparkling Rosé), including a premium Grand Cuvée tier (Richelle, Simoné). Wine production relies on traditional winemaking methods using estate-grown grapes from the Banghoek Valley microclimate, described as well-suited for ripening Cabernet Franc.

The business operates a vertically integrated wine-tourism model with four on-site F&B venues — De Herenhuis 1692 (fine dining), Banghoek Lounge Restaurant, De Vliet Country Bistro, and Grapes & Greens Picnics — plus a Country Lodge with roughly 13 room units, a wedding and function venue, a wine tasting experience in the restored Manor House, and padel courts. Wine is sold DTC through the estate tasting room and an online shop (minimum 6-bottle order, domestic-only delivery). All marketing runs through organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) and the company website. Customers are primarily wine and food enthusiasts visiting the Cape Winelands, wedding and event planners, and accommodation-seeking tourists.
